re: #171 reine.de.tout

My reaction to it is that she— Bristol— hasn’t quite thought the process through.

The insight she has now she has gained only after a pregnancy and the depression that followed it. When she says that other girls should follow her lead, she really means that they should learn from her mistake without committing it. However, that’s typically the hardest message to pass along to others— it’s hard to communicate from experience to those who lack the experience.

Given the unrealistic nature of wanting no pre-marital sex— and the uncertain benefits of it— to me this just makes me feel bad for Bristol Palin, and I wish that she would stop putting herself into the public spotlight.
